LAL MURGI !

Lal Murgi was one such book that my parents must have purchased for me every month, untill I got promoted to the next class. I was in the second standard, and "Lal Murgi" was a story book prescribed for the second class. The book contained several short stories in Hindi, along with a story called "Lal Murgi" the book was colourfully illustrated with beautiful pictures. I was so fascinated by the colourful and beautiful pictures that I could never control the temptation of cutting the pictures from the book and purposely leave the book in the school so that I can tell my parents that I have lost the book. My parents were surprised that why I am losing only "Lal Murgi" and no other book. This secret has remained a secret !
